Worker engagement and adoption is by far the most common topic of discussion whenever we meet with our clients to discuss their EHSQ program success. It makes sense too. The value you get out of any health and safety management or quality management program is only as good as the people (and the number of people) who use it – the more people across your organization understanding and participating in the program, the more successful it will be.

Likewise, from a technology standpoint, the data and potential insights you can get out of your EHSQ management system can only be good as the source data that you put in.

It stands to reason then that the most successfully implemented programs are ones where widespread adoption occurs, while programs that stall often end up stuck within individual departments or business units.

Throw out your scale and stop weighing yourself. It’s not about the numbers it’s about a lifestyle change.

For any of us who have tried to lose a few pounds we’ve been given some version of that advice. It’s good advice as well. One of the main challenges that people face when trying to lose weight is being distracted (and frustrated) by the numbers. The numbers on a scale can be frustrating, but more importantly they can be a huge distraction from the real objectives that you may have.

Ultimately losing 10 pounds is not a problem statement. Losing 10 pounds, or lowering your blood pressure and any number of health benefits that people want to achieve are a result of a much bigger objective. That is a permanent lifestyle change, or change in behavior.

It makes sense as well. If you step back from a view of health focused … Read more...

Earlier this month, Verdantix published their 2016 Green Quadrant for EH&S Software. In the study, Intelex was recognized as a leader in this quickly growing and evolving market, reaffirming our mission to help our global clients build a safer and more sustainable world. We are proud to have received recognition as the vendor with the most complete set of capabilities amongst our peers.

Verdantix leverages their vast knowledge of the market as an industry leader when compiling reports like this. As such, the report provides a wealth of information to inform buyers with a high-level view of the market. So, we thought we would break it down for environmental, health and safety, and quality professionals who are evaluating EHS solutions and trying to make sense of where this market is headed.

It’s that time of year. The beginning of a new year often means that many of us are preparing our resolutions. Whether your resolution is to improve your diet, lose weight or quit smoking, there is one piece of advice that’s broadly applicable when it comes to achieving any resolution. You’re far more likely to achieve your resolution goal if you’ve got a clear plan in place.

The desire to lose weight, or the desire to quit smoking in and of itself is not a plan to get there, it is the destination but not the map. Having a small child at home, I’ll pull out some of my dad advice when it comes to developing a plan to achieve something.

How do you eat an elephant? One bit at a time. All good plans involve taking what might seem like overly ambitious goals and breaking them down into smaller … Read more...

Managing change in your organization can be a difficult and complicated process. One that if not done properly can potentially result in negative impacts across your business. It is essential that each proposed change is meticulously tracked and controlled to ensure risks are identified and workers and organizations are protected from these potential negative impacts. The problem is that many organizations rely on paper and spreadsheet based systems that are both difficult to audit and notoriously time consuming to execute.

Intelex’s Product Manager for Management of Change, Eric Morris addresses your pressing questions about how to effectively and efficiently manage change in your organization in this webinar he facilitated on how to streamline the management of organizational change and mitigate the risks that organizational and operational changes can pose.

Key topics Eric covers include:

How to integrate tasking, approvals and checklists to ensure a smooth, well thought out change

Selecting the right software and software vendor can be a challenging task.

The right software can help streamline your projects, keep your workforce safer, lower your negative environmental impact and empower your organization. On the other hand, the wrong software can impede your workforce and ultimately prevent you from delivering a quality product or service to your customers.

1. Business Disruption

Selecting, purchasing and implementing new software requires a great deal of time and often involves many people from across the organization. Poorly executed implementations can impact the productivity of key project stakeholders by diverting their attention from their primary responsibilities, impacting project timelines and regular operations.

Rather than improving efficiency, software that does not meet requirements may force your users to consider additional software … Read more...

Aaron Levie, CEO of Box.net has said that “Enterprise software used to be about making existing work more efficient. Now the opportunity for software is to transform the work itself”

While business transformation led by technology is impacting all of us, there is no department feeling this more than the Information Technology (IT) department.
For most organizations, IT has always acted as the steward for all of the technology that supports business processes. But the nature of that stewardship is evolving. As our collective reliance on technology and the strategic value of that technology both increase, so has the impact that IT departments – and the budgets they carry – can have on an organization.

This evolution is not just leading to bigger technology budgets for tools and systems, but for forward-thinking organizations it is also causing executives to rethink the role of IT altogether. After all, IT is leading … Read more...
